A GOOD SIGN.
A Large Increase of Business
Oh the v. 81 II.

n OA
on the v. & II.
One of the best signs of the pros
perity of the country in and about
Carson is the heavy increase of bust
ness on the V. & t. During the
past month the increase has been
more marked than at any other per-
iod for ten years past.
The principal shipments of freight
consist of country produce, hides,
tallow, wool and grain. The capac-
ity of the freight depot is taxed to
its utmost to handle the consign-
ments, aud the men having the
work in charge do not have a single
idle moment in the day. All day
the big freight and back-action wag-
ons fill the space about the platform
with every body busy as hees.
All this means that the country
back of Carson IS steadily growing,
and that the rarchers are beginning
to have surplus to ship away,
said surplus meaning the gold cash
in the inside pocket.
The freight depot is handling at
/ least five times the business during
! the last 80 days than it handled
/ during the corresponding month OF
last year, and there is no let up in
the influx OF business. The farm
ers back OF Carson are getting bet
ter equipped for business every
year, and +. 3. Rail is authority
\ for the statement that during the
past Summer he has sold more
farming machinery than ever, and

A LAX E,s BED.
Mrs. Eaugtryss Well Gives
Some Geological Assays.

some Assays
The borers for Mrs. Langtry's
well are now down 256 feet, and in
the heavy clay bed have reached a
bed of boulders This looks as if
the Carson Valley was once lake,
and that from some cause or ana
other the bed of the lake was filed
in by alluvial deposits. The bould-
ers were originally washed dowu
from the hills, and were at the bot
tom of the lake. The mountains
which are on every side of US were
Worn away by atmospheric action,
and the crumbling went on through
thousands of years, until the bed of
the lake was gradually filled up,
and the waters being liaed and
made larger IN area but shallower
in depth, finally evaporated. Per-
haps this region was once visited by
copious rainfalls, and then a period
of drouth followed which dried up
the shallow lake
The soil pierced by the well
borers shows layers OF different ma
terial, generally clay and sand alter
mating. The finding of boulders at
a depth of $50 feet is something
which may give professional geolo-
gists a data on which to figure out
more strange things about the Car
son Valley and throw more light on
the age of the prehistoric tracks at
the Prison. So far no sign of bed
rock has been reached, and it is
generally conceded that before a
good big speuting well can be found
the bed rock must be pierced. The
well so far struck can only be con-
sidered surface flows.

Willie Sell, the 16-year- old boy who was
convicted last July of numbering his father,
mother, brother and sister, near the town
of Erie, Kas., has made confession, in
which he says that his father, j. w. Sell, a
well-to- do farmer, was killed by his broth
er, and that he (Willie) killed his brother to
revenge his father, and afterward killed his
mother and sister. The murders were COM
mtted at night, and the first information of
the tragedy was given by the murderer, who
awaked neighbor and told him some man
was hurting his father and mother. The
bodies of the murdered people were found
in the farm-h house, with their Threats
cut from ear to ear and their heads crushed.
A bloody Ratchet and butcher knife we're

should go, and Waty did not want to, and.
while they were talking, went out and got
